About 400 El Pasoans demonstrated during Cesar Chavez Day on March 31, 2007 for justice, farmworker rights and against the destruction of the heart of the Segundo Barrio. As part of a binational redevelopment scheme, billionaire William Sanders plans to raze down about 130 acres to create big-box stores, strip malls and an arena. The message you keep hearing over and over during the march is "El Segundo Barrio No Se Vende!" Our people, our history and our culture are not for sale! Will those in positions of power ever understand? For more info see www.pasodelsur.com.
